A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.


6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online


7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.


Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Idk. Watch The Weather Man, Lord of War and Spider-Noir, all wildly different performances. I'm no stan but Nic has range.

Edit: Although I do agree he hasn't historically used it. I think related to money trouble and having to do a lot of ridiculous mostly trash movies.

Raising Arizona is another good example.

Leaving Las Vegas and Adaptation. He's just absolute shit as a "cool guy". He's great at being a dork playing a cool guy.

Moonstruck worked, strangely. It’s a movie that’s more like a theatre production.

I was about to say that ironically.

Truth is you couldn't be further from it. But it's a little magical to pretend and hope that, yes, Nick Cage is irl all of that.

You NEED to watch "Pig"

It's great, but it's also the least Nic Cage role being played perfectly by Nic Cage.
